Read proverbs 4:7  This a good verse.  But the two main words in the verse are a little confusing because they mean almost the same thing.  But they are actually different.  They are like two keys that look the same, but unlock different locks.  The keys look alike, but open very different doors.  Our two key words are wisdom and knowledge.  Knowledge is knowing things, but wisdom is more than just knowing things.  Wisdom is using knowledge to get along with people and to make things in life work.  Success in life is not just to know a lot of things.  Success in life is about knowing how to get along with people and how to help people to do better things with one another.  For example, knowledge is knowing the rules of baseball, but wisdom is getting all of the players to play well together.  It is true that you have to know the rules in order to play baseball - that is knowledge.  But getting a group of boys to play well together and to make them into a team that can win the championship, well now that is wisdom.  That takes a wise coach.  Get knowledge, but make the knowledge work.  Get wisdom.  But always remember that true wisdom comes from the Lord God in heaven, Who is all wise!
